More tab tweaks: The list all tabs button

Published: November 3rd, 2006

If you have decided that the tab close button in ever tab is not for you and have a single tab close button in the extreme right of the tab bar, your tab bar looks odd. This is because the list all tabs button is designed to "lean" on the right window border and not a smaller button like the close tabs.

List all tabs button to the left of the tab bar A nice enhancement is to move the list all tabs button to the extreme left. Just, add these lines to userChrome.css located in the chrome folder of your profile.

.tabs-alltabs-stack {-moz-box-ordinal-group: 1 !important}
.tabbrowser-arrowscrollbox {-moz-box-ordinal-group: 2 !important}
.tabs-closebutton-box {-moz-box-ordinal-group: 3 !important}

Now it looks more natural and pretty. Have fun!

Thanks! I do like the looks of that better. It remains to be seen how long it will take me to get used to the new location.

hi Is there a way to restrict firefox 2 to max number of tabs it can have anytime. Beyond the reach of max maybe warn or an option to not allow new tabs until some of them are close.
thanks
